It is H O T today

Time travel ..... I remember when growing up in Aurora Indiana, that our Mother would spell words instead of saying them. I thought it was because she did not want us to know what she was talking about. However as an adult, I asked her why she spelled sooooo many words around my brother and I. Well, it turned out that she was evoking the need for us to learn how to spell. I tell that story to show why I have the word, H O T spaced that way in the title. Can you tell, I was spelling just to emphasize how HOT it is here today. (Thanks to Mother for impressing the need for correct spelling, no matter how simple a word!) :)

Our daylilies are continuing to show such beauty. Amidst this almost unbearable heat. Thus far it is 92 degrees with the heat index showing 108 degrees. YIKES, now that is hot. The humidity is fairly low today, which does not make this an oppressive day. If outside, we all have to mindful of the heat by taking more breaks, drinking much water, getting in the shade when possible.

Want to say nice meeting Laurel, Anita and Levi. Look forward to seeing you this Saturday. And glad that Linda and Glenda came by today and hope to see you again soon.
